Welcome! As music lover's and caring teachers, we are delighted to see that you take your child's musical growth and fun-time seriously! Music making is a great outlet for all children! We therefore encourage parents to enroll children with autism/special needs as this is one environment where they can just let go, be free, and express themselves musically. To learn about Music Together's philosophy and approach to teaching music please scroll down, and let us know if you have any questions.

- Come experience a class that fosters fun and creativity, as well as social and musical learning in a pressure-free environment!
ABOUT OUR CLASSES:
We offer weekly 45-minute classes (5 weeks this coming semester). Together we explore music through songs, rhythmic rhymes, movement and instrument "play-along".
MIXED-AGE CLASSES (0 to 5 years):
Educators have long considered mixed-age groupings to foster beneficial learning skills. Our activities focus on adult/child interaction, where the adult is the musical role model for their child. This class is the basis for all Music Together classes, so if you have an infant or a 3-5 year old, don't hesitate to take this class if the ones below aren't offered at a time that is good for you. All of our teachers have had specialized training in working with each age group; infants, toddlers, and 3-5 year-olds.
BABIES ONLY CLASS (0-8 months):
They may be pre-verbal and pre-mobile, but they’re not pre-musical! A specially designed one-semester introduction to music for our youngest music-makers. Musical activities such as finger play, lap songs, and songs without words are emphasized though we learn songs with words too. A great way to have fun with your new baby, learn how they learn, and meet other new parents. Class tuition includes 2 CDs, a songbook, and 2 free make ups. Babies are also welcome in our mixed-age classes.
To register for the extended spring semester, please go to our "Register" page and fill out an online registration form. You can pay by check or credit card to secure your space in your preferred class day and time.
Along with fun music classes, we also offer Musical Birthday Parties and Vocal Lessons, as well as private party performances by singing trio Tres Leches or Singer/Songwriter Rene Collins! To learn more, click on our news section on this home page on the upper right corner.
